Artist Talk
Chris “Daze” Ellis
Friday, March 6, 1:30 pm
Chris “Daze” Ellis, the Happy and Bob Doran Artist in Residence, began his career as an artist spray-painting New York City subways in the mid-1970s before becoming a studio artist. Daze has gained international renown as a muralist, and his work is featured in the permanent collections of museums throughout the world. He is currently working on a multi-section mural in the lower lobby of the Gallery. In this talk, Daze discusses the mural and works on view in the modern and contemporary art galleries, including his own Crossroads (2012) and Neon Canyons (2012), as well as Martin Wong’s La Vida (1988). La Vida—a vibrant portrayal of New York’s Lower East Side in the 1980s—features portraits of Wong’s artistic and social contemporaries, including Daze.
